Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

There is nothing wrong with making that trade now, but not having it go in effect until July, right?  Wasn't it similar with Grant Williams trade?  It was announced before it could go into effect, right?

Except that the timing would suggest that draft strategy is at least part of the equation, for one team or the other. 

…if this is even a true rumor. 

But to your point, they could be talking about something that won’t go down until July, sure.
